Catalogue of Portuguese Coins – Damião Peres (Porto Municipal Museum, 1929–1934) – Two Volumes
Catalogue of Portuguese Coins of the Porto Municipal Museum, by Professor Damião Peres, is an important work dedicated to the study and inventory of Portuguese coins preserved in the numismatic collection of the Porto Municipal Museum.
Published in two volumes in 1929 and 1934, the catalogue presents a systematic description and classification of Portuguese coins belonging to the museum collection, accompanied by historical references to the different monetary issues throughout Portuguese history.
The work forms part of the early twentieth-century efforts to document and study museum collections in Portugal, contributing significantly to the development of Portuguese numismatic research.
The present set includes both volumes of the work, published in 1929 and 1934, preserving the original printed wrappers, a feature particularly appreciated by collectors and bibliophiles.
